Publisher Description
From Mo Willems, the #1 New York Times best-selling author.
When the Bus Driver takes a break from his route, a very unlikely volunteer springs up to take his place—a pigeon! But you've never met a pigeon like this one before. As the Pigeon pleads, wheedles, and begs his way through the book, readers answer back and decide his fate.Download and start listening now!
"This is one of my all time favorite picture books. It is hilarious to all ages because of the facial expressions of the pigeon in the book. He is trying to get the reader to let him drive the bus and it is very interactive by giving the reader a chance to answer him if they so desire. The pigeon goes insane trying to beg you to let him drive it. He is expressive and entertaining. The illustrator did a wonderful job bringing the pigeon to life in that sense."
— Kimberly (5 out of 5 stars)

" This is a great book that engages students immediately. The pictures are relateable to children and would be easy for students to draw as a way to engage in the story and feel involved. The story also leaves space for students to respond. This is a great way for students to experience literature and practice response in a grand conversataion. "

" Love this series of books! My son gets so animated while reading them "
— Sheila, 1/11/2014 -
" If you've got toddlers/early readers, you have to read this series. My daughter and my nieces have loved them all. My daughter is rewriting them so now it's, "Don't Let the Flowerpot Drive the Bus!" and all sorts of silliness. They're a great series and, as an adult, so much fun to read to her. "

" After I read this I really didn't think it had a purpose. But upon a further look it actually teaches kids how to think and make a good moral decision despite someone trying to make them do the opposite. I'd recommend K-2 for this book. Also could be used to show emotions with art as well. "
